The
Holocaust: The Truth about This Great Destruction of the Jewish People

The year was 1938. All across Germany the Nazi propaganda
machine had been spewing out lies and deceptions about the Jews, trying to
rally the German people behind their effort to eventually eliminate every last
Jew. Germany had had many economic problems due, in part, to the strict reparations
imposed on them by the League of Nations and the Great Depression which came in
1929 (a) (See Works Cited at the end).
The Nazis had blamed the Jews for their economy. They had blamed the Jews for
their problems and the hatred of the Jews was reaching a boiling point.

Anti-Semitism in Medieval Europe

Like their European ancestors before them, the citizens of Nazi
Germany blamed the Jews for their national and personal problems. Blaming the
Jews for problems and then killing them later is nothing the Nazis invented. Nearly
550 years earlier, in 1389, hatred toward the Jews was also boiling over in the
medieval city of Prague.

The Jews were not allowed to live with the rest of the people
of most European cities and instead lived in separate communities called
Ghettos. Due to a Catholic belief that Catholics should not be creditors or tax
collectors, those jobs were left for the Jews (c). This sadly gave the Europeans
an excuse to hate them more. Jews were blamed for sicknesses which were really
due to bad hygiene and other problems. In 1389, citizens of Prague massacred
thousands of Jews in the Prague Ghetto and looted and ransacked their homes (b).

“Kristallnacht”

Fast-forwarding to 1938, over five-hundred years later, Nazi Germany
was also blaming the Jews for her problems. The propaganda was working and
during the night of November 9–10 (later called “Kristallnacht”), thousands of Germans took out their anger on the
Jews. Across Germany (which included Austria at the time) over 1,000 synagogues
were set ablaze and approximately 7,500 Jewish businesses were looted and
vandalized (d). During the chaos, over 90 Jews were murdered and 30,000
were arrested. While this horror was taking place, fire brigades and police
were told to let Jewish properties burn and be vandalized. They could only intervene
if “Aryan” properties were accidentally harmed (d).

Thursday, September 18, 2014

In part one, we looked at Anti-Semitism in medieval Europe and during the Catholic Crusades. We saw how Medieval rule forced Jews to wear special badges identifying them as Jews (just as in Nazi Germany), and how they were forced into ghettos, and how they were wrongfully accused of unfounded crimes (both in Nazi Germany and in medieval Europe).Defending the Jews: "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion Exposed"

There is a mistaken
belief (existing even today) that Jews are behind the Illuminati and a sort of
Jewish New World Order. Henry Ford believed it and he wrote many newspaper articles
attacking the Jews, claiming that they were part of a conspiracy to destroy
America (g) (see Works Cited below). This belief was also made popular by the publication of The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion.
The book was published in Russian in 1905 by Sergei Nilus (d). In the book
the Jewish characters are conversing back and forth about their plans for
controlling the world. It has been proven that The Protocols… is a hoax and was based on an earlier publication.

In 1865, a
book titled “Dialogue aux Enfers entre
Machiavel et Montesquieu, ou la Politique de Machiavel au XIX. Siècle. Par un
Contemporain” (or "A Dialogue in Hell Between Montesquieu and
Machiavelli") was published in Brussels, Belgium (e). Its author Maurice
Joly was a lawyer and satirist who lived during the reign of Napoleon III. He wrote the book as a
dialogue between different characters with the intention of criticizing his government
(d). He was arrested shortly after its publication and was sentenced to 18
months of jail time (e).

Some 40
years later, The Protocols of the Learned Elders
of Zion was published. Its similarity to “Dialogue in Hell…” by Maurice Joly is very striking.

(Maurice Joly)

“A Dialogue
in Hell”, by Joly (f):

[Fourth Dialogue]

“Machiavelli: You do
not know the unfathomable cowardice of humanity, servile in the face of force,
pitiless in the face of weakness, implacable before blunders, indulgent before
crimes, incapable of supporting the contrarieties of a liberal regime, and
patient to the point of martyrdom before all the violences of bold despotism,
upsetting thrones in its moments of anger, and giving itself rulers whom it
pardons for actions the least of which would have caused it to decapitate
twenty constitutional kings.”

Now, compare The
Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion to "Dialogues in Hell".

“Protocols:”(f)

[Number 3, Paragraph
16]

“It is the bottomless
rascality of the goyim peoples, who crawl on their bellies to force, but are
merciless toward weakness, unsparing to faults, and indulgent toward crimes,
unwilling to bear the contradictions of a free social system but patient unto
martyrdom under the violence of bold despotism. It is those qualities which are
aiding us to independence. From the premier-dictators of the present day the
goyim peoples suffer patiently and bear such abuse as for the least of them
they would have beheaded twenty kings.”

There are
many more examples of plagiarism in “The Protocols.”

Maurice Joly’s
“A Dialogue in Hell:” (e)

[pg. 250.]

“MONTESQUIEU: How are loans made? By the issue of bonds
entailing on the Government the obligation to pay interest proportionate to the
capital it has been paid. Thus, if a loan is at 5 per cent., the State, after
20 years, has paid out a sum equal to the borrowed capital. When 40 years have
expired it has paid double, after 60 years triple: yet it remains debtor for
the entire capital sum.”

“Protocols:”(e)

[pg. 77]

“A loan is an issue of Government paper which entails an
obligation to pay interest amounting to a percentage of the total sum of the
borrowed money. If a loan is at 5 per cent., then in 20 years the Government
would have unnecessarily paid out a sum equal to that of the loan in order to
cover the percentage. In 40 years it will have paid twice; and in 60 thrice
that amount, but the loan will still remain as an unpaid debt.”

As you can
see, The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion plagiarized Maurice Joly’s
much earlier publication. The only reason for it being published was to spread lies
about the Jews. Sadly, Henry Ford bought into this big lie, as did Adolf
Hitler. In Hitler’s Germany, the Nazi party published and distributed large
quantities of “The Protocols” (h).

Hitler wrote
(in Mein Kampf) in strong support of “The
Protocols” (h):

For
thousands of years Israel was recognized as an important nation in the Middle
East. During different periods of Israel’s history, kings and rulers gave her
tribute and gifts. She was accepted as being a legitimate country and was envied
by her neighbors. During the days of King Solomon, Israel had vast stores of
gold and silver and precious stones: wealth that today would exceed the wealth
of billionaires. This was ancient Israel’s golden age. But it didn’t last.

When Israel
turned away from their God and served the idols of the nations around them,
they became wicked and burned their children in the fires of Moloch, the
Caananite god of child-sacrifice.

God brought
them warning, by the mouth of prophets, time and time again, but they did not
listen. Finally, God allowed the Assyrians to capture the northern kingdom of
Israel, leaving the southern kingdom of Judah and Benjamin. The Jews in Judah
and Benjamin did not learn from their northern brothers and continued in a
period of idolatry (which was broken up by periods of returning back to God).

Again, God in
His mercy sent prophets to warn the people and to turn them back to Him, but
the people (for the most part) did not listen. And, eventually God allowed
Babylon to take the Jews into captivity. After a period of 70 years, just as
God had promised, He returned the Jews back to their land.

Some time
went by and then Jesus Christ, the Messiah, came. Jesus Christ fulfilled all
the prophecies of the Messiah who God promised to be the Savior of the Jews and
of the Gentiles (see Genesis 3:15, Psalm 22, and Isaiah 53). The
self-righteous, arrogant Pharisees and Sadducees rejected Jesus Christ as the
Messiah, even after all the miracles He did, and had Him crucified on a Roman
cross. But, other Jews believed in Jesus Christ and they spread the Gospel
message of salvation to the world, starting at Jerusalem. (Paul the Apostle was
a Jew, as were all the 12 disciples of Jesus.)

In 70 A.D.
Titus, a Roman general, besieged Jerusalem and destroyed the Temple, and Jews
were scattered into many countries. In their new countries, they gathered
together in communities and preserved their culture as best they could.

Jews in Europe

(Jews wearing yellow badges in Medieval Europe.)

During their
whole existence in Europe and elsewhere, the Jews were despised by their
Gentile neighbors. Sir Walter Scott, author of Ivanhoe, gives the reader
a taste of the hatred and loathing Europeans felt toward Jews during the middle
ages.

Scott writes
(Ivanhoe, Chapter IV, pg. 1.):

Oswald, returning, whispered into the ear of his master,
"It is a Jew, who calls himself Isaac of York; is it fit I should marshall
him into the hall?"

"Let Gurth do thine office, Oswald," said Wamba
with his usual effrontery; "the swineherd will be a fit usher to the
Jew."

"St Mary," said the Abbot, crossing himself,
"an unbelieving Jew, and admitted into this presence!"

"By my faith," said Wamba, "it would seem the
Templars love the Jews' inheritance [the land
of Israel] better than they do their company."

[…]

"Hush," said Cedric, "for here he comes."

Introduced with little ceremony, and advancing with fear and
hesitation, and many a bow of deep humility, a tall thin old man, […] approached
the lower end of the board. His features, […], would have been considered as
handsome, […][but] during those dark
ages, was alike detested by the credulous and prejudiced vulgar, and persecuted
by the greedy and rapacious nobility [….]

[…]

[…] Cedric himself coldly nodded in answer to the Jew's
repeated salutations, and signed to him to take place at the lower end of the
table, where, however, no one offered to make room for him. […] and the very
heathen Saracens, as Isaac drew near them, curled up their whiskers with
indignation, and laid their hands on their poniards [daggers], as if ready to [kill
him] [….]

Jews have
been vilified and mistreated for thousands of years and it is nothing they have
earned. Many people today detest them for simply being Jewish. But, this
attitude is nothing new. It has been around for a long time. During the middle
ages Jews, who were sometimes vilified as “Christ-killers”, were denied the
right to own land. Because the Catholic Church did not permit their members to
lend money, Jews were allowed to do the lending (a) (see Works Cited in part 2). They also were allowed to
serve kings as tax collectors, and sadly many people despised them (a).

We will now look at how the religion started by Nimrod (in Babylon) is connected to the Freemasons and we will discover the true identity of the "god" of the ancient mysteries (who is also the "god" of the elite Freemasons).

(The Ouroboros is a snake (or serpent) forming a circle by eating its tail. This symbol is tied to sun-worship. The Egyptian sun-god, Ra, has a snake wrapped around a sun-disk, relating the serpent to the sun. This serpent is a symbol the Freemasons took from the ancient mysteries, or mystery religions.)

To recap, we have talked about Nimrod and how he was killed
and how Semiramis, his wife / mother, had a son (Tammuz) who was worshiped as the
reincarnation of Nimrod. This pagan trinity of father, mother, and son was worshiped in ancient Babylon and throughout the
world.

When Shem (who Egyptians made into an evil god Set or Seth)
killed the wicked Nimrod (Osiris), the pagan priests of the idolatrous system
had to conceal their secrets from the regular people. The regular people (or
“the profane”) would not be allowed to know the truth that Tammuz was not Nimrod reincarnated and that the devil was the one the high-ranking
priests of Baal actually worshiped. Yes, it is true: the high-priests of
mystery religion worship Lucifer (or Satan). They secretly believe Lucifer is
the “Architect of the Universe” or the creator. How can this be?

(Albert Pike)

Freemasons (a secret society that exists throughout the
world) claim that their system originated from the mysteries (mystery
religion) of Babylon. The 33rd degree Freemason, Albert Pike stated:

Monday, September 15, 2014

Nearly five thousand years ago, after the flood of God’s judgment on a wicked world, a man built a city in the land of modern-day Iraq (or Babylon). This man was the ringleader of ... (Read more below.)

(A Note About Fire Worship: Fire (or sun) worship comes from Babylon originally and it is still practiced today. The Yazidi (or Yezidi) people of Iraq (modern-day Babylon) worship a sun-god. Their religion is similar to ancient Zoroastrianism (pg. 54) (i.e. sun-god worship of Babylon). In this religion, the people pray toward the sun, dance around bonfires, jump through fire, and worship the sun-god "Mirtha" (which originates from Tammuz). In the Zoroastrian religion (Chap. II; Sub-Sect. V; The Deification of the Child [Baal]; pg. 54), people worshiped the sun-god with fire, claiming that the fire was sacred and somehow connected to the power of the sun. Fire was thought to cleanse or help cleanse sin. In some Catholic countries people will jump through fires on "St. John's Eve." This also goes back to Zoroastrian fire-sun-worship (as Hislop shows in The Two Babylons, pg. 106 and pg. 54).Mystery Religion: The Antichrist and the Zoroaster (Part 1 of 2)

Nearly five thousand years ago, after the flood of God’s
judgment on a wicked world, a man built a city in the land of modern-day Iraq
(or Babylon). This man was the ringleader of an apostate religion: a religion
that twisted the truth of God’s Words and distorted the plan of salvation God
told Adam and Eve in Genesis 3.

The serpent in the Garden of Eden told Eve that eating fruit
from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil would give her wisdom and that
she would never die. He told her a half-truth (a deception); for Adam and Eve
did die, but they truly did get the knowledge of good and evil. This knowledge
of sin has not helped us, their descendants at all. Because of Adam and Eve’s
rebellion in eating that forbidden fruit sin entered the world and their
sin-nature passed onto their descendants (us).

God was not going to let the human race perish without giving
them a savior, Jesus Christ, the seed of the woman who would bruise (or crush)
the serpent’s head (Satan’s head). Jesus Christ (the seed of the woman) was
promised to the early patriarchs to save the human race (mankind) from its sin
and to give mankind eternal life in Heaven.

Satan, who had possessed the serpent, wanted to create a
counterfeit religion that would also claim to have a messiah (or savior) who
was supposed to be “the seed of the woman” (see Genesis 3).

To do this, Satan had to be very crafty and subtle. He could
not bring this apostate religion out in the open because godly men, like Noah
and Noah’s son Shem, would intervene. After the flood of Noah (when God judged
the whole Earth with water), Noah’s sons and grandchildren and great-great
grandchildren began to multiply in number. Many moved into the land of Shinar,
near the area of modern-day Baghdad, Iraq. In this fertile, Mesopotamian region
the first post-flood civilization was founded. Its capital was later called
Babylon. In this great city, a tower of brick and mortar was being constructed
(likely a ziggurat). Everyone spoke the same language because they all were the
same family: they were related closely.

Nimrod, who the Bible calls “a mighty hunter”, became the
main leader behind this effort to rebel against God and build a tower unto
Heaven. Their goal was to exalt themselves above the one true God, the Creator.

We find that Nimrod started the worship of the “host of
heaven” (the sun, the moon, and the Zodiac) (see Zephaniah
1:4-5). People in pagan religions worshiped the constellations,
the moon, and the sun, which God forbids.

Exodus 20:5-6

3 Thou shalt have no other gods
before me.

4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any
graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is
in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself
to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the
iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation
of them that hate me;

6 And shewing mercy unto thousands
of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

Nimrod, the head of this idolatry, was taken by his godly
uncle Shem and some other patriarchs. They found him guilty of idolatry and
many other gross sins (such as murder) and had him put to death. Nimrod’s body
was cut up into pieces and sent to important cities that followed Nimrod’s
apostasy. This was a warning to them not to follow in Nimrod’s path. In Egypt, Osiris was said to be killed by Set (or Seth) and his body was cut up into
pieces (click to see the Appendix note #7).

After God confused the languages at the Tower of Babel,
people grouped together in families with the same language and dispersed across
the earth. People who spoke ancient Chinese moved into China. Europeans moved
into Europe. Africans moved into Africa. Egyptians brought Nimrod’s system of
idolatry with them when they moved from Babylon.

The ancient Egyptians taught that their god Osiris was killed
and cut into pieces by Set (or Seth, a name they wrongfully gave Shem). Egyptians
taught that the dead Osiris was reincarnated into the form of his son, Horus,
and that Osiris, Isis (his wife), and Horus formed a trinity to be worshiped.
In this system, however, the mother and child were mostly worshiped.

Mother-Child
Worship and the "Zero-ashta"

Mother-child worship came from Babylon and reached into many
countries. In ancient Assyria, Rhea (the “mother” of the “gods”) and Ninus (the
son) were worshipped; in Egypt, Isis and Horus; in India, Isi and Iswara; in
Greece, Ceres (the "Great Mother") and her child; in Rome, Fortuna
and Jupiter-puer (or Jupiter, the boy) (see #1); and in ancient
Canaan, Ashtoreth and Baal (Tammuz) were worshiped.

Friday, September 12, 2014

At
the time that men were scattered across the face of the earth, dispersed from
the Tower of Babel when God confused their languages, they brought with them
the pagan religion Nimrod and his mother started. This religion was adopted by
Egyptians, Hindus, Greeks, Romans, Caananites, etc. Nimrod, a very wicked
leader of idolatry, was killed by his uncle Shem (1).

When his son, Tammuz, was
born, the son's mom, Semiramis (or Ishtar, Isis, Ashtoreth, etc.), told the
Babylonians that Tammuz was a "reincarnation" of Nimrod and that he
was a "god". She then, being the mother of this "god" was
called the "Queen of Heaven." Tammuz was called Baal, (i.e.
"master"), by Caananites and was worshiped as the
"sun-god". Fire was part of this solar-deity-worship (1).

In
the 1911 edition of Theurgia: Or, The Egyptian Mysteries, this marginal
note says:

*Proklos
remarks of the Perfective Discipline, "that, as the Oracles teach, it
obliterates, through the divine fire, all the stains derived from
generated existence." The Chaldaean Oracle [sic] also
says: "The mortal drawing near the sacrificial fire will have
light from Divinity." (Iamblichus. Theurgia: Or, The Egyptian
Mysteries, 1911. pg. 202) (bold / underline added)

These
ancient pagans worshiped fire because fire was thought to purify away sin
(note: think of Purgatory). The Bible teaches that only Jesus Christ's blood
cleanses away sin (see 1 John 1:7, Acts 4:12). These fire-worshipers believed that
fire also gave "light from Divinity" (ibid). This light can also
be called "illumination". Those who have been "illuminated"
are called the "Illuminati." (Note: "illuminati" comes from
the Latin word "illuminatus").

The
Illuminati existed long ago, long before the time of Adam Weishaupt, who
started a group he called the "Illuminati". Before they were called
the "Illuminati" they had different names. In the past, they
were the elite priesthood of the ancient mystery religions (in Egypt, Babylon,
Greece, Rome, etc.). These high-ranking priests of Babylon, Egypt, Greece, etc.
hid secrets in plain sight in the form of symbols, images, rituals etc. They
kept the real meanings of their rituals, symbols, etc. to themselves and
made up explanations to tell the "common people" and the
lower-ranking priests.

Freemasons and Mystery Religion

The
Freemasons have secret handshakes, secret sayings, and secret meetings which no
one (but who they allow) can observe, just as did the mystery religions. Manly P. Hall, a high-ranking,
33rd degree mason, wrote:

"Freemasonry
is a fraternity within a fraternity -- an outer organization concealing an
inner brotherhood of the elect ... it is necessary to establish
the existence of these two separate and yet interdependent orders, the one
visible and the other invisible. The visible society is a splendid camaraderie
of 'free and accepted' men enjoined to devote themselves to ethical,
educational, fraternal, patriotic, and humanitarian concerns. The
invisible society is a secret and most August fraternity whose members
are dedicated to the service of a mysterious arcannum arcandrum."
[Manly P. Hall, Lectures on Ancient Philosophy, p. 433]

This
"invisible society" Manly P. Hall writes about, which is
"dedicated" to a "arcannum arcandrum" (or a
"secret" or a "mystery"), also worships Lucifer.
How so? Albert Pike, a 33rd degree mason explains:

"The
Masonic religion should be, by all of us initiates of
the high degrees, maintained in the purity of the Luciferian doctrine.
. . . Yes, Lucifer is God, and unfortunately Adonay [God the Creator] is
also God. ...for the absolute can only exist as two Gods: darkness being
necessary to light.... The doctrine of Satanism is a heresy; and the true and
pure philosophic religion is the belief in Lucifer, the equal of Adonay [God
the Creator] ; but Lucifer, ... is struggling for humanity against Adonay, the
God of darkness and evil." Albert Pike (quoted by A.C. De La Rive in La
Femme et l'enfant dans la Franc-Maconnerie Universelle, p. 588; Lady
Queenborough, Occult Theocracy pp. 220-221.)

The Truth from the Bible

This
twisted statement from this high-ranking mason makes the Creator God look evil
and makes Satan (or Lucifer) look good. It also reveals how Satan-worshipers
view God: they hate Him. Lucifer (Satan) is not equal to God in any way. Jesus
Christ, (the Word) created all things.

Colossians
1:3

3 We give
thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,

Colossians
1:16-18

16 For by
him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible
and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or
powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

17 And he
is before all things, and by him all things consist.

18 And he
is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from
the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

John 1
tells how Jesus Christ (the Word) created all things.

John
1:1-3

1 In the
beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.2 The same
was in the beginning with God.3 All
things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

To twist
things around, these evil men have called God evil and Satan good.

Isaiah
5:20

20 Woe
unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and
light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

These "initiates of the high degrees", who Albert Pike speaks, of are serving Satan, the fallen angel who rebelled against God, who wanted worship for himself. God clearly tells us in His word that only God is to be worshiped and that only He is God.

Isaiah 45:5

5 I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:

Jesus
Christ said...

Matthew
4:10

10 Then
saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt
worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

HOW TO GET SAVED and KNOW GOD:

1. If you believe and confess aloud, genuinely from your heart, that Jesus Christ has paid for all your sinswith His precious blood and has risen from the dead (…knowing that you cannot earn this free gift of salvation) (Romans 10:9-10; 1 Corinthians 15:3-5; and Colossians 1:14);

2. And if you repent from your sins (You do this by confessing only to God Himself that you are a sinner and that you want to turn away from sin.) (Romans 3:23; Acts 3:19; and 1 John 1:8-9);

3. And if you have made Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior, you are saved (Jesus cannot be your Lord if you are serving yourself and living selfishly. If He is not your Lord, you would have another master. Jesus said in Luke 16:13: “No servant can serve two masters…”) (Romans 10:9-10 and Luke 16:13).

4. Now seek God with all your heart. Seek to know Him and you will (Jeremiah 29:13).

John 17:3 says: "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent."

With over a billion adherents and an incalculable amount of wealth, the Roman Catholic Church is one of the largest and wealthiest religions in the world. Its followers can be found all around the world and its influence has been felt in nearly every country since ancient times. The Catholic Church teaches many "doctrines" which cannot be found in the Bible. This article will compare four of them with the Bible. We will see how they contradict the Bible.

(Contents:

1. The Sacrifice of the Mass (Eucharist)

2. Mary the “Mediatrix” is False Doctrine and Contradicts Scripture

3. Purgatory is Not Found in the Bible but Catholics Teach It Regardless

4. Bowing to Images and Praying to Statues Is against God’s Word

5. If You Would Like to Have a Relationship with God...)

1. The
Sacrifice of the Mass (Eucharist)

The Catholic
Church teaches that every Catholic must partake of the Eucharist (round wafers and wine or grape juice), during the Mass, in order to be saved.

"The Eucharist is
necessary for salvation, to be received either sacramentally or in
desire." (The Question and Answer Catholic Catechism, Q. 1217.) (Bold
added)

Catholics
believe that the round wafers and wine of the Eucharist transform into Christ’s
actual physical body and blood: literal flesh and blood.

"After the consecration, nothing remains of the bread
and wine except their external properties. Their
substance becomes the living body and blood of Christ." (The Question
and Answer Catholic Catechism, Q. 1225.) (Bold added)

"The Eucharist is
a sacrament which really, truly, and substantially contains the body and blood,
soul, and divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ under the appearances of bread
and wine. It is the great sacrament..." (The Question and Answer Catholic
Catechism, p. 244, Q. 1212.) (Bold added)

But, what
does the Bible teach about this subject? Romans 6 addresses this topic.

Romans 6:6-11 (Emphasis added)

6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that
the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.

8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall
also live with him:

9 Knowing that
Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion
over him.

10 For in that he
died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

Jesus Christ
“died unto sin once: but in that he
liveth, he liveth unto God.” Jesus does not die all over again each
time someone takes part of the Eucharist. His sacrifice at the Cross of Calvary
was done one timeto pay for all the sins of the world.
Hebrews 10 explains…

Hebrews 10:3-10

3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made
of sins every year.

4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats
should take away sins.

5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith,
Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:

6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no
pleasure.

7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is
written of me,) to do thy will, O God.

8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt
offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure
therein; which are offered by the law;

9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh
away the first, that he may establish the second.

10 By the which will
we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for
all.

Notice verse
10? The Holy Spirit, through the writer of Hebrews says that Christians “are sanctified through the offering of the
body of Jesus Christ once for all.” This offering of the body of Jesus Christ
is again not many times during many Masses, but “once for all”.

Hebrews 10:14-18

14 For by one offering
he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after
that he had said before,

16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after
those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their
minds will I write them;

17 And their sins and
iniquities will I remember no more.

18 Now where remission
of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

Jesus Christ
was offered up “once for all”. Verse 18 says, “Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.” To

Over 191,000 acres have burned across California. The official death total is 31 (as of Oct. 12, 2017). At least 3,500 homes and other buildings have been burned down. Entire neighborhoods were burned to the ground, including schools, houses, businesses, valuables, and cars.

And, brothers and sisters in Christ, these people in California need our prayers, and they need to turn to Jesus for salvation. (Let's remember also the people in Puerto Rico, Mexico, South Sudan, and flood victims in Asia.)

HURRICANE IRMA, THE MEXICAN 8.1 EARTHQUAKE, AND THE SOUTH ASIAN FLOODS

Prayer is needed for the suffering people in Florida, Mexico, Cuba, Texas, India, the Caribbean, and in other regions who lost loved ones, homes, possessions, and livelihoods.

These are signs of the times in which we live, too. God is preparing people for the tribulation which is coming in the near future. Jesus Christ spoke of catastrophic events in the book of Matthew 24. We are starting to see the beginning of them.

Now is a time to seek God and repent from sin He convicts us about. It is a time to get to know God as our Abba Father and best Friend. If we are not saved, or if we have not made Jesus Christ our Savior and Lord, now is the time to do it. Tomorrow may be to late for some.

Jesus Christ said: "... and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out." (John 6:37.)
